We really enjoyed our visit. There is an excellent selection of seafood and the flavors are both delicious and intriguing. We had Arctic Char with a Honey Sriracha glaze. The atmosphere of the market and restaurant makes this little spot a unique and elegant stop. Over all a wonderful experience!

I’ve driven by this restaurant for years and honestly regret not stopping in sooner! I finally went during happy hour and was very impressed — the draft beer selection was great, and the happy hour oysters were fresh and delicious. I also tried the vongole pasta, and it completely exceeded my expectations — honestly, I liked it even better than the ones I’ve had at Eataly. Everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. I’ll definitely be back, and probably often! Rex Seafood has officially become one of my new favorite spots.

I have been going to Rex's Seafood and Market for YEARS! Their seafood and sides are always so fresh and never disappoint. You can tell that they pride themselves on letting the freshness of their ingredients shine through. Some of their stand out items for me are the Chilean sea bass, lobster roll (both Connecticut and Maine style), spinach, grits, and their fish tacos (I typically opt for the catch of the day). What I can confidently say is that you won't go wrong with anything you order on the menu. 10/10

We stopped in a spur of the moment decision on a Friday night. They did not have any tables available but there were seats at the bar. The service was fast and efficient. We started off with a jumbo crab cake which was a special of the day. The crab cake was perfectly prepared with a tangy mustard sauce. For our main entrees, the wife had the fish and chips and I had another special of pistachio encrusted turbot. The wife's fish and chips were incredibly good and I thoroughly enjoyed the turbot. My sides of red beans and rice and jalapeno poppers were all delicious. For dessert, we ordered the bread pudding and it was delectable. My wife said her fish and chips were the best since our favorite fish and chips we had in Newport Beach in California. We would definitely go back when we are in the area!

Excellent preparation and service. All seafood tasted so fresh. We arrived without reservations and had to wait 45min but it was worth it. We ordered the CT lobster roll, red fish, and blackened shrimp alfredo. All were absolutely excellent. For dessert, we had key lime pie, creme brulee, and cappuccino pie. Will definitely visit again to explore more of the menu.

We were celebrating a friend's big accomplishment and wanted to grab lunch. As a group of 8, we didn't think much of it. The firat 3 restaurants that we tried could not accommodate all 8 of us at one table. So we finally called Rex's and they could squeeze us in. We were lucky they did. For apps, we ordered the oysters, escargot, and bacon wrapped scallops. Everything came out flavorful and perfect portions. The gumbo and chowder hit the spot, as a cold front just moved in that morning. We all shared plates, so we order the crab pasta, sea bass, lobster rolls and some king crab legs. Entrees were all very good. All in all, a great experience and highly rwcommended.

First time visit and man were we excited. We have been meaning to come out but kept forgetting. The food is the star of the show although the atmosphere is very homey and inviting. We started with the spinach and artichoke with crab dip paired with the tuna nachos. The crab dip was solid and the tuna nachos were good. I'm not a big fan of Wasabi so that shaded it a bit for me but didn't stop me from destroying 3 of the 5 from the dish. Since we were here for happy hour I ordered a half dozen oysters (places like this it should be mandatory I feel) since we were here for HH. Not being knowledgeable enough to desern the beat to choose. The Jimmy fund gold and mere point were the tops, Barnstable was a solid 3.5 of 5, mere point was good however sex on the beach being a little disappointing. We ordered the black cod with grits and broccoli and the lobster roll Connecticut style with black beans & rice, sweet potatoes and added jalapeño puppies. Brooooo. That black cod literally melts in your mouth. This was the absolute best cod we have ever had which is saying something. The lobster was phenomenal and while the brioche bun was good, it comes off a little dry so I'd prefer just eating that lobster alone. Trying the salad version next time. The last item for the night was creme brulette and peach sorbet. I was disappointed the creme brolette wasn't lit of fire as I love that presentation but was so good. The peach sorbet was meh. Not a recommendation tbh especially when compared with the creme brulette. We are definitely going to be back sooner than later because there are too many good things to eat in one visit (but I tried). Round 2: fight! Oh boy! So we started with one of the specials with the tropical ceviche which was fire! I checked off the “future Tim” the bacon wrapped scallops. Eh. 3.5 out of 5. The bacon was a bit overpowering. The scallop was wonderful but for $26 for 3 scallops it moved to the “probably pass” list. The Paloma and house margaritas were fire. I had the red snapper with dynamite sauce with the butter squash and broccoli slaw. Delicious. The broccoli slaw was nice and spicy with the sriracha mix. Mom got the special with the deluxe steamer bowl: 1/2 lobster, crab claws, shrimp and scallops in a leek and tomatoes broth and fettuccini. Finished it off with another creme brûlée. Stick a folk in us son. We’re done! lol. Until next time! Things to try next time future Tim: Cobb salad Seafood gumbo Yellow fin tuna (hold the horseradish) Fish and chips

This is another restaurant for you to call home... this is a most def for all of my pesci besties (pescatarians). It kinda has a retro diner feel with modern day pricing (lol). The drinks were pretty strong (which is always good) and if I had to guess, everything was fresh. I have to return just to try every fish on the menu. And you can all purchase fresh fish to take home and cook for yourself. They have daily specials and a friendly & knowledgeable staff. Nothing we had was a disappointment. This is a true definition of comfort food...

Let's start with the service, it was outstanding! Greeted by the hostess as soon as we walked in and got a nice booth. The waitress was phenomenal and very attentive without being pushy. We got off to a bit of an odd start when the first two things I ordered to drink were not in stock, but after a few minutes I noticed a board with a beer I absolutely love on tap! Now let's get to the food, my wife ordered the sushi grade seared tuna, fries and broccoli and it was delicious! The fries were seasoned perfectly, the tuna was cooked to perfection, and the broccoli was steamed with care. I had the Parmesan crusted trout(the meat pulled off the skin easily and they deboned it), with cheesey grits (crazy creamy and cheesey)and collard greens(slightly acidic with some bacon and crazy deep flavor like someone loved me and wanted me to enjoy this dish), and I'm going to admit that I haven't been to a restaurant in too long where nothing needed salt, but this place just gets it!. I never touched the salt because I was too busy inhaling the plate of food I ordered and was so happy to be at a restaurant that understands that fine dining can be done perfectly in a casual setting. This place has flown under my radar for far too long and I must recommend you eat her as soon as you can. I also went to the fish market for some red fish, and the first guy was too busy taking to a guy about Rodeo Goat and his favorite burger to help us, but then Ryan(I think, he has a solid mustache) came to and was very friendly and helpful. We ended up getting some salmon dip and crackers to go along with our red fish, I really can't say enough great things about this place. 10/10 would recommend all aspects of this restaurant.
